Chapter 9 Komaeda-kun's Theory of Hope

"Asakawa-san's first impression of me should be extremely bad..." Facing the sudden silence in the classroom, Nagito Komaeda lowered his long eyelashes.

He unconsciously pursed the corner of his lips lightly, and said with a sense of disappointment: "When we met for the first time, Asakawa-san accidentally fell... When we met just now, Asakawa-san's attitude was always very cold, as if he didn't want me to sit down. Behind her, maybe I'm still being hated now..."

"Komaeda-kun, Airi won't take such trivial matters to heart."

"Yes, yes, in fact, Asakawa-san has such a silent and introverted personality, and doesn't really hate you."

"How can Komaeda-kun have such a good personality that people hate him?"

Feeling that the eyes of everyone in the class fell on her body again, Asakawa Airi suddenly felt her face was hot.

Komaeda Nagito's inner distortion is perverted, but he has not done anything yet, maintaining the appearance of a kind and gentle ordinary person, and her excessive reaction will become very strange in the eyes of his classmates.

Asakawa Airi, who didn't want to be an enemy of the whole group, had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I didn't hate Komaeda-kun because of what happened yesterday, and I didn't take it to heart."

But I hate you so much because of your shit-stirring nature.

"...First impression, Komaeda-kun is gentle, humble and polite."

Yes, this is indeed Asakawa Airi's first impression of Komaeda Nagito, it's just the first impression in the game.

So she vaguely said a very popular answer.

As soon as Asakawa Airi finished speaking, Komaeda Nagito's long and curly eyelashes fluttered a few times, as if confirming that he had heard correctly, his light blue eyes slightly curved, and he presented Asakawa with a good mood Airi had shining white teeth.

Asakawa Airi: ...don't be too sentimental please?

"Asakawa-kun, is there anything else you want to add?"

"No, I only met one more time than everyone else, and I don't know Komaeda-kun very well."

Seeing that Airi Asakawa couldn't dig out any gossip about Nagito Komaeda from her mouth, Miri looked at her twice more regretfully before turning his head away, and continued to interview Nagito Komaeda enthusiastically.

"I haven't asked Komaeda-kun's hobbies yet, what is Komaeda-kun's favorite?"

"Favorite, that must be 'Hope'." Komaeda Nagito sat up straight, raised the tails of his eyes, showing a shallow smile, and was met with a "really so" blank stare by Asakawa Airi without hesitation .

"Huh? Hope specifically refers to..." Mi Liyi was a little confused. She had interviewed so many students and teachers, and it was the first time she heard from a person that her favorite was hope?Shouldn't guys like sports games or girls they like?

"The so-called hope is something that will never be defeated by anything. It is absolutely good. It must be filled with infinite sincerity, happiness and dreams. Only those who have the will and ability to look forward can achieve it." Bring it to life. So-called despair is only a stepping stone to hope."

When Komaeda Nagito talked about hope, his tone became completely different, with his hands folded on his chest showing an expectant expression, with a slightly cheerful ending.Of course, now he tried his best to restrain the obviously changed expression on his face.

"Hope is an absolutely good thing..." Repeated silently, Miri was ignorant, and wrote in the notebook in conclusion: "Because I like hope and talent, I yearn for Hope's Peak Academy. "

"Does Komaeda-kun want to become hope himself?"

"How can a scum like me without talent become hope? Only people with talent can breed hope... Don't be overwhelmed by any despair, and be full of good hope for life."

In the last sentence, he suddenly laughed softly, his voice seemed very happy, and there was an indescribable strange meaning: "What kind of beautiful hope will be born from everyone's will and talent, it is really exciting... ...And I, who have no talent, am willing to be a stepping stone of hope and contribute to everyone's hope."

It's a pity that except for Asakawa Airi who saw that a certain Hope Chef started to hug his arms and fell ill, no one noticed the hidden meaning in this Hope Chef's words. They all thought that his character was so self-effacing and a hopeful , A beautiful young man who is willing to give.

"The interviews are all over now, is there anything else Komaeda-kun wants to tell everyone?"

"I missed the exam at Helix Middle School because of a fever. At that time, I really felt that I was very unfortunate. But now, I can transfer to Yan Middle School and get to know everyone. I am really lucky. Thank you very much for not despising garbage maggots Normally I..."

"Of course, Komaeda-kun's ability to transfer to Shio Middle School shows that we are very destined, and it is also lucky for us."

"Welcome Komaeda-san!"

"Don't underestimate yourself, Komaeda-kun, you're not rubbish...you're a member of our class!"

Looking at Komaeda Nagito who instantly captured the hearts of the whole group with his self-abasement and self-deprecating words, Asakawa Airi's whole face was paralyzed, and he sighed silently in his heart.

"Airi, is Komaeda-san the neighbor you mentioned this morning...?" After peeking at Asakawa Airi's strange expression and secretly clenched hands, Kageyama Shigeo, who had been struggling for a long time, asked weakly, "Did something happen with Komaeda-san? If there is a misunderstanding..."

Knowing Asakawa Airi for so long, it was the first time for Kageyama Shigeo to see such an unfriendly expression from his childhood sweetheart.Nervous and shocked at that moment, the person sitting next to her felt her resistance to Komaeda Nagito most clearly.

The bell rang for the second class soon, and Airi Asakawa shook her head, then sat back in her seat with a headache.

She couldn't figure out the other party's mind, and she could always feel the gaze from behind during class.So much so that in every subsequent class, she did not dare to take it lightly, and her nerves were always tense.

Restless all afternoon, Asakawa Airi felt that she was going to be physically and mentally exhausted.

Then, she finally made it to school.

And Komaeda Nagito didn't do anything out of line on the first day of the transfer, he was as quiet as an obedient boy.

After school, Kageyama Shigeo went to participate in the first activity of the Reform Department.In order to take care of Kageyama Shigeo's weak physique, the minister specially made a different activity plan-run around the playground ten laps, so Kageyama Shigeo, who wanted to exercise his muscles, followed the seniors of the reform department around after school We started running together on the school playground.

"Meat change!"

"come on, come on, come on!"

However, this was the easiest training for the seniors in the reform department. Kageyama Shigeo, who tried his best to follow behind, only ran three laps, and he already felt that his body was becoming light.

Big beads of sweat slid down Kageyama Shigeo's pale and bloodless cheeks, and a strong sense of discomfort came over him, making him breathless, and every time he took a breath, he felt as if he was going to die.

I ran three laps and couldn't stop... Airi was watching from the side...

I need to build up my muscles so that I can be with Xiaolei...

On the fifth lap, Shigeo Kageyama's black school uniform was completely soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and his face was covered with sweat.

He was striding forward, wanting to follow the seniors from the Reform Department to continue running and complete the ten basic laps, but he gasped for breath, his legs were weak and trembling, as if he had exhausted all his strength.This uncomfortable feeling became more and more intense, so strong that it almost suffocated him.

"Plop—" Shigeo Kageyama slipped his footsteps and fell completely to the ground.He struggled to stand up, but he was dizzy, and even thinking was difficult.

"Shigeo!" Airi Asakawa, who was watching Shigeo Kageyama running, was instantly taken aback by the sight of him falling down with tears streaming down his face.

Although she knew that the dragon's body was very weak, and she would faint from exhaustion every time she ran in the animation, but when she saw Shigeo Kageyama lying motionless on the ground, Asakawa Airi found that her thinking also stopped along with it .

She immediately ran over with water and a towel, and helped Kageyama Shigeo, who was already unconscious, from the ground. □□Seniors from the reform department also gathered around with concern.

"No, it's anemia."

"terribly sorry……"

After Kageyama Shigeo drank a little water, he gradually regained consciousness from his semi-consciousness.Facing the concerned eyes from all around, thinking that he was in a coma and caused the suspension of departmental activities, and even Airi was worried that he didn't go home early, so he was ashamed and wished he could find a hole in the ground and get in.

The self who doesn't use superpowers is really useless...

Seeing Shigeo Kageyama's downcast little expression, Airi Asakawa quickly comforted him: "You just joined the □□ Reform Department today, and your physique hasn't adapted to such intense training. Don't worry, take your time. Come on!"

For the unbearable physique of the newly joined Shigeo Kageyama who fell into a coma after only five laps, the head of the club, Musashi Goda, did not criticize or dissatisfy, but took good care of this new member.After resting together for a period of time, they ran the last five laps with Shigeo Kageyama who had regained his confidence.

Looking at the gentle, kind and reliable seniors, Shigeo Kageyama secretly clenched his fists: It is indeed right to join the □□Reform Department!I can definitely build muscle!

"Now that the warm-up is done, let's start the activity officially. Exercise the abdominal muscles and back muscles, and do two sets of dumbbells and push-ups, ten in each set."

"Huh...?" Was it just a warm-up...?

Kageyama Shigeo took the dumbbell from the minister's hand with a confused face, then swayed and almost fell to the ground.

"Ah--it's so heavy--" Kageyama Shigeo realized that the dumbbell was so heavy without lifting with superpowers.

"Straighten your back and tighten your abs!"

"Yes!" Shigeo Kageyama tensed his body immediately, lifting the dumbbell tremblingly with his slender arms.

In the first training session, although Shigeo Kageyama’s thin body was sweating profusely and panting from exhaustion, the seniors took good care of him, stopping from time to time to teach him the correct posture or let him watch and rest , After Asakawa Airi settled down, she waved goodbye to Shigeo Kageyama, who gritted his teeth and insisted on training, and prepared to go home.

When she left the playground, she happened to see Nagito Komaeda in a black school uniform, standing not too far away and looking at them, with his usual smile on his face, but Airi Asakawa felt a little on the sidelines.

Because he couldn't see the slightest smile in his eyes, he looked aloof as if he was watching a good show, and stared at everything on the playground ruthlessly.

"Why doesn't Asakawa-san participate in her own club activities, but stays with Kageyama-san instead?"

In Komaeda Nagito's eyes, Kageyama Shigeo has an ordinary appearance, is not good at studies and sports, has a weak physique, has a low sense of presence, has no talents, and is completely mediocre garbage.

"A talented person like Asakawa-san should not waste time on worthless people."

He tilted his head and shrugged slightly, as if he was very puzzled by Asakawa Airi's behavior, and had a look of disapproval.

Regarding Komaeda Nagito's unconsciously arrogant and contemptuous tone, Asakawa Airi frowned and retorted, her expression and tone were almost cold: "Shigeo is not worthless, Komaeda-kun, please pay attention to your wording."

Hearing Asakawa Airi's defense of Kageyama Shigeo and the obvious rejection of himself in Asakawa Airi's tone, Komaeda Nagito's smile narrowed.

He folded his arms and said slowly: "Does Asakawa-san think that Kageyama-san can build muscles if he works hard? Asakawa-san is really naive. The valuable human and the worthless human have been clearly distinguished from the moment of birth." Separated. No matter how hard an incompetent human being works, he will never be able to become a valuable human being."

He showed a disgusted and indifferent expression, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "No matter how hard you try, a small dog can't become a big dog; no matter how hard you try, a penguin can't fly into the sky... People without talent keep repeating. 'Work hard, work hard' is cheap and has no substance... it's nothing more than vulnerable self-comfort!"

"Hey, Komaeda-kun, I'm sorry, but can you please shut up a little bit?"

As a serious person who works hard for her dream, Asakawa Airi completely disagrees with the view that "talent is everything". Her mood became more and more displeased because of Komaeda Nagito's undisguised belittling, and her tone inevitably became bad.

"Also, please stop following me."

Stunned by Asakawa Airi's ferocious expression, Komaeda Nagito bit his lower lip innocently and aggrieved: "Asakawa-san, this is the way I go home."

As he spoke, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he kept a distance of two steps from Asakawa Airi with great sincerity.

Facing his pitiful eyes, Asakawa Airi's head hurt even more, and she simply stopped and asked, "Komaeda-kun, what do you want to tell me? You want to say that only those with excellent talents and strong will Can people... be hope...?"

Unexpectedly, Asakawa Airi said the explanation about hope that she mentioned in the interview just now, thinking that the other party obviously hated her but remembered every word she said insincerely, Komaeda Nagito involuntarily raised the corners of her lips.

His eyelids were slightly raised upwards, as if he had reached a certain state of expectation, and his slightly trembling voice contained a kind of undisguised excitement: "Does Asakawa agree with what I just said? Work hard!" It is a ridiculous misunderstanding that can breed success or something! Only talent is what is necessary to lead to hope..."

"That's enough Komaeda-kun, I don't want to hear any of your fallacies about hope." Asakawa Airi interrupted coldly, she raised her head and stared at Komaeda Nagito, her eyes did not flinch, like a vertical Pick up a hedgehog covered in sharp thorns, alert and vigilant.

"Having talent is hope? Without talent, you have to become a stepping stone to hope and sacrifice yourself? What a joke! Human life is equal, no matter how special power you have, people are still people, neither higher nor lower than people. Yours If your field of vision is limited to talent equal to hope, then your thinking is too narrow! Effort is rewarded, and hard work can reap good results. Anyone who makes efforts for something is not in vain. Although hard work It may not be successful, but those who do not work hard will definitely fail. It is the worst behavior to erase a person's hard work and struggle with a sentence of worthlessness and rubbish lightly. I hope Komaeda-kun can truly know how to respect everyone A person, including their lives."

Looking at the figure of Asakawa Airi turning away angrily, on the long ramp, that figure seemed to reveal a trace of indescribable malice, blending with the gradually darkening sky, Komaeda Nagito put his hands in his pockets, He bowed his head and smiled faintly.

——Efforts are rewarded, hard work can reap good results, and anyone's efforts for something are not in vain.

"...That's because Asakawa-san has talent and thinks hard work is useful."

People who can't win, people who don't work hard, and people who can't win even if they work hard, are all worthless garbage.

The oncoming wind blew his messy bangs covering his forehead, Komaeda Nagito put his hands in the pockets of his school pants, and walked leisurely with his long legs, step by step towards the direction where Asakawa Airi had already run away, his face continued With a charming sunny smile.

No one knows this better than I do.

So I will not be so arrogant as to have dreams and hopes... nor will I try to brazenly...

Because I was destined to be the worst, worst, and stupidest scum, a worthless piece of shit who couldn't do anything.

"...a scum like me can only be a...stepping stone of hope..."
